1t seems that on February 3, an cleo
ton was held to issue bonds for the
Denver. Memphis & Atlantic road,
and on February s, another election
was held to issue bonds for the Chica-
go, Kansas & Western. The first
named road is a Missouri Pacific ex-
tension and the last named belong to
the Santa Fe. At both elections two
polls were thrown open, one at Fargo
Springs and one at Springfield. The
question at once arose as to which was
the legal voting place of the township.
The question is all the more inter-
esting from the fact that if the votes
cast at Springfield are cast out the Den
yer, Memphis s. Atlantic road will Sc
cure the issue of bonds, while if those
at Fargo Springs are not counted the
bonds will he secured by the Chicago,

\ TEXAS legislator is reported to
have introduced Il bill making it UNI
lawful to manufacture, import or sell

reason for introducing this bill is that
man hit with abullet from a 4l-cali-
hre pistol will generally die before he
has Il chance to shoot back. The re-
suit will be an obvious saving of hui
man life. Moreover, 4I-calibre pistol
is SO big that it can't be worn concealed

CHARLES II. BRAYToN, chief of the
Rhode Island police. has submitted to
the Legislature his first report OH the
prohibitory law which went into effect
July |. 1t shows that in Providence
drunkenness decreased AZ per cent, as
compared with the corresponding
period in 1885. The decrease i'll other
cities and towns has been: Newport, 33
per cent; Woonsocket, 20 per cent:
Johnston, 40 per cent; East Provi-
dence, 30 per cent; Lincoln, 40. Chill
dren are no longer seen frequenting sa-
looms To get liquor for their parents.
The commitments to the state work
house show a falling off of over one
half. thus saving the state a large
sum in the item of board along. The
chief complains of apathy on the part
of the friends of prohibition, and re-
cOmmends various amendments to the
prohibitory law. 1t may be admitted
that the Providence Journal and other
newspaper present a decidedly less
favorable picture of the working of
prohibition than does General Bray
ton. and are sharply critical in his
methods.

PENNSYLVANIA is about to adopt the
Scotch modification of the jury law,
with some changes. The remedy sug-
sested i'll Pennay ivania is the legaliz-
ing of a twO-thirds verdict. In other
words, if eight occupants of the jury
box agree as to the guilt or inno-
cence of a prisoner, conviction or ac-
quittal will follow. The Scotch law
enacts that. after three hours unsuc-
cessful attempt to arrive at unanimity
the verdict of nine jurors may be ac-
cepted, and this applies to both civil
and criminal trials. The law has been
found TO work well. The twelfth jul
ror, recognizing the fact that he can
not delay justice by holding out against
the opinions of his eleven colleagues
generally yields at once, and hence
unanimous verdicts are given in al
most every trial, and hung juries are

would greatly add to the efficiency OF
